MS-Access Startup Parameters?

Is there a way I can call MSACCESS.exe to open a certain .accdb and pass parameters to that accdb? Or will I need to design my outside program to write to a file and just have the accdb parse that outside file as it opens?

So there might be some confusion about what I mean by passing a parameter to the accdb file.
When one opens something like the ipconfig.exe it opens and displays information about the IP address, but if you instead call ipconfig.exe /?, that is pass the /? parameter to ipconfig.exe, the program does something different. I am wondering if I can do
something like "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\msaccess.exe" "accdbfile" "123"
that is open access, tell access to open a certain file, then pass the parameter 123 to the access database when it opens. If this is possible how do I detect the parameter from Access' side?

  • How to access GET-parameters in portal url

    Is it possible to access GET-parameters in a bsp application in an iview in the enterprise portal, and if so, how do I do it?
    If you look at the url of this post (/message/1514719#1514719 [original link is broken])
    I would like to have the value of "forumID" in the bsp application in the iview with shortlink "thread".

    Raja,
    your solution is what I was initially looking for, so thank you.
    Can you also supply a link to the article you refer to?  I can't find it:-)
    But while looking for this I found something even better, a way to pass parameters to an iview without having to define them in the iview ApplicationParameter-property.
    Apparently the trick is to add the parameter "DynamicParameter" to the url, that translates to different parameters in your bsp application(iview).
    So if you want your bsp application to have the parameters "roomid=555&date=01.01.2007" your url should be
    http://bla/irj/portal/rooms?DynamicParameter=roomid%3D555%26date%3d01.01.2007
    where %3D is the ascii representation of "=" and %26 is the ascii representation of &.
    I found this here : /message/529588#529588 [original link is broken] , but in this thread they say to separate the parameters by a ";", whereas for me it only works when i use %26 (&).

  • Adobe Reader Plug-In - Startup Parameters

    Hello,
    Sorry if this has been asked before but I want to embed the plugin in an html page.  I found the startup parameters for navigation panel (starting it looking at pages (thumb nails)) and a couple others.
    I am still looking for the following;
         I need the startup parameter(s) to show the two rotation toolbar buttons upon startup.
         I need the startup parameter to enlarge the thumb nails (by one size) upon startup
    I have this so far....
    <embed src="pdf_open_parameters.pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=1&pagemode=thumbs&zoom=100" width="1000" height="1000">
    Can anyone assist?
    Thank you for your time.
    Nathan

    The default zoom for the plugin should be the same as for the standalone Reader.  Is it not?

  • Can I access URL parameters?

    Is it possible to access URL parameters from a WebStart application?
    Example:
    http://www.domain.com/example.jnlp?parameter1=43
    I would like to initialize my JWS app using the information given to me in parameter1.
    Is this possible? I believe that this would be very powerful.
    Thanks.

    If your www.domain.com/example.jnlp is a CGI script or servlet that returns a .jnlp file with
      <application-desc>
        <argument>43</argument>
    </application-desc>and you retrieve that parameter from args[1], it might work.

  • Webdynpro URL Startup Parameters

    Hello,
    i call my webdynpro application about a html link. it is possible to deliver my application some startup parameters by url, like
    http://sap:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/local/Application/Application?<b>parameter=3</b>

    Hi,
    You can provide paramters in the default plug of the interface view and fire url to the new application.
    The only restriction would be to provide the parameter as app.<parameter name>
    The parameter would be accessible in the default plug.
    There you you need not give the "app" prefix.
    for eg. if you are passing a parameter abc, just pass it as app.abc
    Do send in your feedback.

  • Changing Java startup parameters

    Hello all
    I am trying to modify a startup parameter from its default value:
    -DrootDir=c://GDS//Configurations//
    I am doing this using the Config tool. I save the change and then I restart the cluster.
    When I check the developer trace of the server from the MMC I see that there is no change in the startup parameters. Of course the same is true within my Java code - System.getProperty(rootDir) still has the default value.
    When I restart the Config Tool and view the startup parameters they are as I edited them previously, ie. they are the new values.
    What do I have to do to make the change stay in place?
    Thanks
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    see Karsten's answer in Changing the JDK - I think this should do the trick.
    Hope it helps

  • I changed my wheel group properties to no access at top disk level.  I messed up, how can I change back in single user mode "command s" as I am now in Thailand and not able to access startup disks?

    I messed up, I changed my "Wheel group" properties to No Access ( or something other than the default) at the top level of my startup disk "Macintosh HD".   Now my computer won't start up, I just get the spinning wheel of death.    I also am in Thailand right now, so I cannot go to a Genius at an apple store, nor do I have startup disks available.
    So I was hoping there was a way to change back the properties of my disk (Volume) in single user mode (via Command +s) during startup, i.e. can I do a chmod command on the Macintosh HD listing under the Volume Directory.    Or where do i fix this?   Is it fixable without startup disks, etc...
    THANKS FOR ANY HELP!!!!
    If you could also please let me know you have an answer, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT!!! 
    thanks so much
    mark
    <Edited by Host>

    Thomas,
    Thanks for the info on command-R, didn't know about that!!!
    Yes I changed the sharing "Wheel Group" permissions on my hard drive via Get Info.    But that's all I did.    And then most of the apps wouldn't respond with anything.    So not knowing I did something stupid, I decided to re-boot, and then nothing but the Wheel of Death at startup.
    I was trying to limit access to my computer on this network, changed my public folder settings, and then I thought why not the whole hard drive, but at that time I had no idea what the "Wheel Group" was... so I shouldn't have touched it, BUT IT DID ...... argggggg....
    I managed to go to an internet cafe & research the problem yesterday.    I used the command +s single mode to get in, and then did the necessary steps to mount the drive so I could make changes.   I basically did this:
    Boot into single-user mode (boot while holding down CMD-S)
    Follow the on-screen instructions to mount the file system as read-write (a fsck command followed by a mount command)
    Type the following: "chmod o+r /" followed by "chmod o+x /"
    Type "exit" to leave single user mode and complete the boot sequence.
    I found it at this link http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=416180
    It worked... thank God!!!   Well so far so good.   
    I was going to try my own fix by chmod on the Hard drive listed under Volumes directory, but that doesn't seem to match the info under Get Info Window.    So I just used the fix above.    I probably should now go and do "Disk Utility - repair permissions", however I am a little gun shy right now, so I will probably wait until I am back in the States so I can go to an Apple store if it messes up.   Right now I'm following the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" MOTTO...
    So Thomas I just wanted to say THANKS for replying so quickly, and I really appreciate your help!!!
    (yes I know I shouldn't have used my email addresses, but I WAS DESPERATE, but that's still no excuse)
    Hopefully maybe this thread will help someone else out in the future....
    Okay, thanks again!

  • Access the Parameters of a SequenceCall via API

    I would like to access several characteristics, like name and value, of the parameter(s) of a SequenceCall via the TestStand API,
    but it didn't work.
    First I get the object reference of the Class SequenceCallParameters via Class SequenceCallModule.Parameters. Now I
    can determine the correct number of parameters via SequenceCallParameters.Count. Cause that works, I think I am on
    the right way. To access the property object of a specific parameter, I get the object reference via SequenceCallParameter.Item and
    the Method AsPropertyObject of the Class SequenceCallParameter.
    I thougth with this reference I could access the properties of the parameter via the PropertyObjectClass, but I didn't get the correct information resp. I didn't know at which property the objectReference really points to.
    I add an example sequence. I would get the information from the Sequencecall via the PreStepCallback.
    I hope someone has an idea. Thank you in advance.
    Regards Carsten

    CKone,
    You can use the API to access the parameter properties.
    Once you get the parameter item you can treat that object as a SequenceCallParamer object.
    The SequenceCallParameter object contains several of the properties you were  trying to access:
    SequenceCallParameter
    Use objects from the SequenceCallParameter class to configure and obtain SequenceCallParameter-specific information for an item in the SequenceCallParameters collection class.
    Properties
    Name (Read Only)
    PassByReference (Read Only)
    Type (Read Only)
    UseDefaultValue
    UserData (Read Only)
    ValidEvaluationTypes (Read Only)
    ValueExpr
    I modified your sequence file to use this object.
    Hope it helps.

  • Acrobat 8 standard installatio issue: can't access \startup

    I attempted to install Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard (Italian) on
    several Windows XP clients, but I get a message saying "Impossibile
    accedere al percorso di rete \Startup" that sounds like "Impossible
    to access the network path \Startup".
    I made several tests and I can confirm that:
    - The Office installation path exists in the registry and is
    correct
    - The user attempting to install have administrator rights
    - The folder \Startup exists inside the Office installation
    path and the user can access it
    - No roaming profiles are implemented
    How can I troubleshoot and solve this issue?
    Regards

    Roma - Italy

    John, thank you for your time. I did bring up the task manager, but acrobat does not appear under the applications tab. I have not had this problem in the past and feel that Acrobat may be corrupted. I would like to remove it completely and re-install. Do you have any suggestions on how to remove it? It is non-responsive using control panel/add-remove programs and I can not find an uninstaller in the Adobe folder C:/Program files/Adobe.
    Again, many thanks.

    How to do that?
    Is there a method or attributes of the view implementation class to do that?
